Here's a little lo-fi island music (lo-fisland?) to match the tropical torrent we've been beset with here in the district . Noble Savage looks to be an offshoot project conceived amidst the indefinite hiatus of indie rock ensemble Animal Astronauts , masterminded by Trevor Lang, who's setting sail on his maiden voyage to the land of the jangly melodies and pitter-pattery hand drumming. Throw in some Wilsonesque vocal multi-tracking, and it's breezy but compelling first single, ho! Is conceptual island music going to be for this summer what conceptual surf rock was a few years [...]

Sigur Rós necelé dva týdny před vydáním (17. června) alba Kveikur spustila jeho streamovanou podobu na stránce kveikur.sigur-ros.co.uk . Kveikur jako následovník loňské desky Valtari je jako jin a jang, neboť atmosférické zvukové plochy a pomalou gradaci nahradil agresivnější přímočařejší přístup, který to do vás pálí už od začátku, takže příznivci nekonečných ale o to intenzivnějších gradací z přechozích alb budou možná trochu, aspoň v tomto směru, z alba zklamáni asi kromě Brennisteinn. Sedmé studiové album Kveikur islandských post-rockerů je první album po odchodu klávesisty Kjartana Sveinssona a zdá se mi, že [...]

The iconic cruise ship devoted to electronic music is ready to depart the docks in Miami, FL early 2014 and set sail out to two private islands in the Bahamas for several days of nonstop fun! Skrillex, Duck Sauce, Diplo and Boys Noize are set to headline the event with an extensive list of other acts to perform before them such as Zeds Dead, Dillon Francis, Baauer, Clockwork, Alvin Risk, GTA, Crookers, and Flosstradamus. I can only imagine what will go down next year! If you happened to miss out on booking your rooms onboard, you're probably out of luck. The ship fills up fast, [...]
![[Listen/Download] We Were Lovers- Islands](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4994564_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng Saskatoon's We Were Lovers invite people to remix their latest single "Islands". The prize is $200 cash and an appearance on their upcoming release. WE WERE LOVERS - REMIX CONTEST by We Were Lovers

Someone might want to brief whomever holds the rights to Bob Marley's music on things that could potentially piss off devoted Bob fans. And ASAP. Spin mentions that Island, Tuff Gong and UME will release an EDM-remixed version of Legend on June 25, and-oh man-what a surely divisive project that is sure to be. But let's hold off on scorched-earth opinions until it actually releases. Until then, curious (and agitated) listeners can sample the album's lead-off tune, Jim James' remix of "Waiting In Vain," which is actually pretty rad. The My [...]

"Islands" by We Were Lovers , from their forthcoming album, Pyramids . Duo Ash Lamothe and Elsa Gebremichael have mastered a pop balance infusing electro, dreamy, rock and disco elements. I even heard what could only be a shout-out to Arcade Fire 's "Haiti" early in the song. Music makers all over the world are invited to remix We Were Lovers ' single "Islands" for it's official upcoming release. The selected winner will receive $200 plus have their remix released nationally with the single. The runner up will have their remix released nationally [...]
![Disclosure – You & Me (Remixes EP) [Island]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4990036_lg.jpg)
What's the best way to make a huge release even bigger? Disclosure know how! Immediately following the release of their debut record Settle, one of the lead singles off it, You & Me featuring Eliza Doolittle has received the remix treatment from the likes of Baauer, Bicep and Toro Y Moi. Although the remixes have been streamed around the internet for a few weeks now, their official release came yesterday via Island Records. In terms of the Bicep remix, the track still keeps the upbeat feeling of the original, but introduces a refreshing breakdown [...]

Sóley vlastním jménem Sóley Stefánsdóttir (sóley znamená v islandštině slunečnici) je jednou z nových tváří islanské alternativní hudební scény posledních pár let. Dříve před sólovou dráhou doprovázela na klávesy známou islandskou indie-folkovou kapelu Seabear a taktéž i projekt jejich zpěváka Sin Fang (oba vydávají u německého labemu Morr Music ). Sóley již od dětství hraje na klavír a inspiraci pro budoucí hudební kariéru sbírala v dospívání například od Sigur Rós a múm , kterou pak završila studiem umělecko-hudební školy. V roce 2011 vydala svůj nejen na Islandu vřele přijímaný [...]

Celebrities cameo in music videos all the time. Whether it’s a way for them to launch an image makeover (Megan Fox hoping to be a serious actress in “Love the Way You Lie”) or just an excuse to make out with their significant other (all eyes on Ben Affleck slapping J.Lo’s ass), big stars seem to love lending their famous faces to help videos get more play. Once in a great while, the celebrity cameo goes beyond the usual eye-rolling “look at me” antics and is genuinely hilarious. So, take a load-off and watch some amazing [...]
I sit shaking on the end of the phone, belated springtime rays trickling in through the tentatively agape window beside me. A couple repetitions of a particularly enervating dial tone refrain later, and I'm talking to the one and only maestro of contemporary classical, Ludovico Einaudi . If he and his highly idiosyncratic music had compelled me to quiver two evenings previous, then I'm rubbing if not my eyes then my ears in disbelief this morning for if Einaudi's compositional dexterity is forever destined for the heart and fair hair follicles sprinkled atop the skin, then having his rarely [...]

In a length interview , Sum 41 's Deryck Whibley spoke brielfy about the departure of his longterm bandmate, Steve "Stevo" Jocz. It doesn't shed too much light however: I think we were all pretty tired and burnt out by the end of this tour. Or at least i know i was and still am. Touring can be tough after awhile. I respect him and his decision. He's the best drummer I've ever played with. But i was not that surprised. You would have to ask him [about [...]

Sum 41 founding member and drummer Steve "Stevo" Jocz has announced his departure from the band. He said this: I'm sorry to announce that I've decided to leave Sum 41. Touring with the band has been an amazing experience that has taken us far beyond our old practice space in my parent's basement to countless countries around the world. I've had the opportunity to see and experience so much and for that I am truly grateful. The band released Screaming Bloody Murder in 2011 and are [...]
Today we're happy to debut the official video for "Farther," a highlight of Vacationer ’s blissful and bewitching 2012 album, Gone . This fan-made montage of concert footage and time-warped technicolor naturescapes is the perfect backdrop for the band's unique brand of easy breezy beautiful tropical pop. “Farther” is like a lucid dream of fifties AM gold hits, lost Disney soundtrack gems and balearica, sewn together, wafting out of a crackling transistor radio on a desert island in the future. Director Adam Fleck does a lovely job of capturing the track’s delicate [...]
Words by Tom Spooner There is a brief moment before opening your curtains when anything is possible. Outside, beyond the fabric, the world is unmade. It could be bathed in glorious sunlight, birds dancing on wires, shimmying to their own trilling beneath great powder blue skies. North Korea's nuclear dreams could have decimated all you know, leaving cockroaches to make merry amongst the rubble of your everyday, the apocalypse smouldering beyond the windowpane. Or, like everyday, it could be raining. Gutter streams busily bouncing with each drop of liquid grey displaced from the bigger, more permanent [...]
It's been ten years since the release of his Juno-nominated album Now, More Than Ever , but Toronto based singer and songwriter -- and composer, it turns out -- Jim Guthrie has been busy. Creating film soundtracks and music for video games. Working his old Islands bandmate Nick Thorburn in the folk/pop duo Human Highway in 2008. But the aptly titled Takes Time (May 7), in the works on and off since 2007, brings Guthrie's own solo songwriting back into the spotlight with ten tracks of folk, pop and [...]

Fall Out Boy is streaming their forthcoming album titled Save Rock and Roll , due out April 16, 2013 via Island Def Jam on Sound Cloud . The band says of the album: This album is one that is particularly close to us. We recorded it in secret from the music industry, critics, and even our fans. An artists first record sounds the way it does because it is often made without expectations. This is not our first record. But because of the way [...]

Fall Out Boy have released another new song from their upcoming reunion album. The album is called Save Rock and Roll and is due out April 16, 2013 .
